Hello my name is Ron. Earlier this year I imported a 1996 XK8 classic from Japan in Titanium paint with Black leather interior, which I really love. They are beautiful cars that in my opinion have a timeless look and make you feel good to drive. Always puts a smile on my face!
The previous Japanese owner really looked after this car as it is in mint condition and does not require much done. I have now taken the usual precautions of replacing the tensioners and water pump, which ironically were in good condition anyway , but at least now I know what I've got. Next on the list is a trans oil/filter change as its done 80Km. Looking forward to participating with other enthusiasts on this forum. Thanks.
